[0018] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0019] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-6 A side collision protection device for a collaborative robot includes several protective parts 1, which are arranged around the side of the collaborative robot during use to achieve side collision protection. Each protective part 1 includes a connector for mounting on the side of the collaborative robot during use. The connector is connected to a first airbag 101 and a telescopic airbag 102. One end of the first airbag 101 is connected to one end of the telescopic airbag 102. The protective parts 1 can protect the side of the mobile platform of the collaborative robot, reducing the damage caused to the robot body by collision. The telescopic airbag 102 provides an adjustment function to adapt to mobile collaborative robots of different sizes, thus improving the applicability of this application. The connecting ends of the first airbag 101 and the telescopic airbag 102 are fixed by adhesive; the first airbag 101 and the telescopic airbag 102 are not connected.

[0020] Furthermore, the connector includes a first connecting ring 104 and a second connecting ring 105, which are located at opposite ends of the first airbag 101 and the telescopic airbag 102, respectively. A connecting strap 109 is inserted between the first connecting ring 104 and the second connecting ring 105. One end of the connecting strap 109 is connected to one end of the first airbag 101, and the connecting strap 109 is connected to the side of the first airbag 101. The connecting strap 109 and the first airbag 101 are fixed together by adhesive.

[0021] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the telescopic airbag 102 and the first airbag 101 are respectively connected to a third connecting ring 107 and a fourth connecting ring 108. The end of the connecting strap 109 away from the first connecting ring 104 passes through the third connecting ring 107 and the fourth connecting ring 108 and folds back. Two Velcro straps are provided at the fold of the connecting strap 109, and the two Velcro straps are connected to each other. The position of the connecting strap 109 can be fixed by the Velcro straps. The connecting strap 109, together with the second connecting ring 105, the third connecting ring 107 and the fourth connecting ring 108, can control the telescopic length of the telescopic airbag 102, thereby meeting the usage requirements of collaborative robots of different sizes. The third connecting ring 107 is glued to the telescopic airbag 102, and the fourth connecting ring 108 is glued to the first airbag 101.

[0022] Furthermore, the third connecting ring 107 is located on the outer side of the telescopic airbag 102 away from the first airbag 101, and the fourth connecting ring 108 is located on the outer side of the first airbag 101 near the telescopic airbag 102.

The second connecting ring 105 and the first connecting ring 104 can also be fixed by adhesive. The adhesive mentioned in this application can be epoxy resin adhesive.

[0025] Furthermore, the telescopic airbag 102 has a corrugated tube structure, meaning that the length of the telescopic airbag 102 is adjustable, while the first airbag 101 has a fixed length.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer surface of the first airbag 101 is provided with a reflective coating, which is made by spraying reflective paint to improve the visibility of the first airbag 101.

[0027] First, untie the connection between the two Velcro straps on the connecting strap 109. Then, inflate or deflate the telescopic airbag 102 to adjust its length. After adjustment, pull the end of the connecting strap 109 away from the first connecting ring 104 to stick the two Velcro straps together. Then, use screws or glue to install the first connecting ring 104 and the second connecting ring 105 onto the side of the collaborative robot's mobile platform.
